Yup, in an industry that’s so focused on looks, I even have a hard time thinking of an overweight male lead, so I guess- Kevin James, props to ya. If we switch to television, we only recently got Mike & Molly - McCarthy’s hogging the market and Hollywood doesn’t know anyone else - and further back with Drop Dead Diva… and further back with latino fat-suit hit Mi Gorda Bella, which was ultimately remade into the mandatory Mexican version Llena de Amor, a Malaysian one titled Manjalara, and India’s very own Dekho Magar Pyaar Se. I have a hard time thinking right off the bat in mainstream films with an overweight (or slightly one) female lead- Hairspray comes to mind, of course, as does (kinda) Muriel’s Wedding, some of Queen Latifah’s or (as of lately) Melissa McCarthy’s starrers though less highbrow or popular than the others, later we get to the fat-suit ones like the fan favorite Korean rom-com 200 Pounds of Beauty or Johnnie To’s early millennium Love on a Diet. ![]() Alternative English Title: My Big Fat BrideĬast: Ayushmann Khurrana, Bhumi Pednekar, Sanjay Mishra, Seema Pahwa, Sheeba Chaddha
